I stand corrected:
From the ZorinGroup:
The Software store has been greatly improved and is now significantly faster and more stable. It also sports a new design with a refined home screen and more information-rich app listing pages. Please note that we no longer include Snapcraft as a default app source for performance and user experience reasons, but you'll still be able to access it by installing snapd (
sudo apt install snapd) and downloading the Snap Store app separately (snap install snap-store). We're aiming to make this process (to install snapd & the Snap Store) easier with a single app listing in the Software store.
Indeed, yes. The Snapd and Snap Gnome Software Plugin has been removed as a default option by choice of the ZorinGroup. While it will not be included by default, the hope is to include it as a single click and install listing.
